The Time is Now!

The Time Is Now!

~

What is this enslavement of the mind,

cast by the trick of twoness, time?

Past memories slowly fading,

future fears and hopes intruding.

~

Useful and necessary though it seems,

time grows like a monster freed;

grasping us in its mechanistic hands,

taking over our lives on demand.

~

All the while we hardly see,

that happiness can only now be;

for now is the one true existence,

outside the tick-tock of twoness.

~

And who we really are at core,

the timeless being we're striving for,

also resides not in duality,

but in the Song of Singularity.

~

My time-constructed ego identity,

is the persona who in time believes.

The "mask" we wear to play our roles,

cannot exist through now's wormhole.

~

The present seems like emptiness,

so we fill it up to stop being anxious;

end up time-poor, racing around,

to get back to the timeless Ground.

~

Stuck in a loop of egoic thought,

in time's repeating pattern caught;

but in the end its just conditioning,

can be unravelled by proper seeing.

~

The "clock watching" of our days,

ties us up in time's delay;

until the Knowing we somehow knew, 

when the now comes shining through.

~
In this abyss of nowness focussed,
riding the wavicle of consciousness;
Neptune's surfer rises on the trident,
the quantum point of life's one moment.
~

Jesus said "we must be like children,"

in order "to enter Heaven's kingdom;"

by this he meant their timelessness,

playing in the joy of the Present-tense.

~

The "field of the lord" is all around,

in this very now, and full of flowers;

here we are, where all minds bloom;

forever perennial, and awaiting you!
